Thanks everyone! Just kind of an opportunity cuz our 90 day deadline was 4/2/2012. 2/14/2012 was kinda right in the middle of then and her POE date of 1/4/2012 so we figured - why not? Besides, I live in the midwest and there's no chance of having really nice weather between now and the deadline anyway. So Valentine's Day was really the logical choice, though we had to scramble some to make it happen, but it worked out great! Thanks again to all!
